Hi

Wanting to get Clojure running on a Win 7 machine with no diskspace for 
dual boot. It's been a demoralising experience.

I tried the Win installer linked from the Leiningen website. It failed to 
download the Leiningen 1 jar - the shell simply flashed open and crashed.

Dug around the git site and found a recent .bat file that's supposed to 
work with the latest Leiningen 2. Again, the shell flashed and crashed.

Then manually downloaded the latest Leiningen 2 preview. Again running lein 
simply flashes and crashes the shell.

There's been a recent open issue on Windows installation but it's supposed 
to be fixed.

The lein.bat file is on my path and has exec permissions. I have Java 8 SDK 
installed and healthy.

Not sure where I go from here - any advice much appreciated.

I'm dithering between Clojure and Haskell for my next project. The Haskell 
community provide a well-maintained batteries-included Windows install for 
GHCi - I was in the Repl 60 seconds after visiting their site. I've been 
struggling with Leiningen for an hour and getting nowhere. 

It seems a great pity that the Clojure community seem to be ignoring those 
of us who are stuck with Windows - it must be having a negative effect on 
the uptake of the language. I see that this has been an issue for years, 
but hasn't been addressed. I'm more drawn to Clojure than to Haskell, but 
if I can't get it running I'll be forced to go elsewhere. Please help.
